Bouchard Pere & Fils, Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots 2008

"Latakia tobacco smokiness, game, and red berry distillates in the nose of the Bouchard 2008 Vosne Romanee Les Suchots usher in a silken-textured, brightly red-fruited, smoke- and spice-tinged, deeply carnal palate. Inner-mouth suggestions of faded flowers and decomposing tree stumps convey an alluring sense of decadence. Ginger and lemon rind invigorate on the finish, while deep, metaphorically dark, savory richness, nut oils, and maritime salinity well-up. There is a wealth of fascination here that should persist for at least 12-15 years." - Wine Advocate
